Vista - Install process question: Dual boot an option?

From some of the discussions here, I'm wondering,...when I install
from the DVD, will I be presented with the option of installing Vista
as a secondary OS, and optionally booting to either it or my current
XP install?

Hi,

Yes, just choose custom and you can choose where to install it as a
secondary OS. The boot menu will be created to allow you to boot to Vista or
the "legacy" operating system.

If you boot from the DVD make sure you have a logical partition created. I
recommend launching setup from within Windows XP and selecting a dedicated
partition, Vista will place its boot loader on the primary partition which
is C:
